Unpopular opinion, but one might argue YouTube was a better place when people did videos out of passion and not to become an "influencer" and get money.

Have you ever worked on vehicles? E.g. for Airbags, there's one single box whose whole purpose is to decide whether to pop the airbags or not. This box is separated from the rest of the car's systems and only puts out status messa

There's a difference between a black box without any user input that always does what you expect of it - and one with an on/off switch. Where the switch can be set via software - either the official one ... or some unofficial one.

IIRC Daimler wanted to integrate w3w into their onboard navigation units.

I’ve come to the same conclusion. Once my DS415+ dies, I’ll build one on my own. Synology won’t see another dime from me.

From the initial tweet the source is this: https://raidforums.com/Thread-SELLING-Free-FaceBook-533M-rec... However, the comments in that forum suggest that it's not "free" and/or not there.
